Hey everyone -
When I passed by a blood giving session today (specifically a platelet giving session which is more invasive), one of the questions asked to everyone was "Are you taking propecia?" I inquired about this, and they said that propecia has been known to cause birth defects. I looked it up on-line, and the general consesus is that propecia can cause birth defecs only if a woman takes it. That's why finasteride is not FDA approved for women. And that since 97 when propecia was introduced, not one case of a birth defect has been reported (who knows?). So I was wodering what anyone knows, thinks, or has heard?
Thank everyone

-Jeff
